Happy St. Patty's Day, Shamrock Butter Cookies!

For pretty much every holiday I bake butter cookies and make them in whatever appropriate shapes. Thus, it's no big surprise that I made some butter cookies in the shapes of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day. YUM YUM!

Everyone loves them and they're easy to make. Sometimes I ice them for extra sweet goodness, and sometimes I let the butter cookie sing. This time I did both.

Mix well. Taking one or two handfuls at a time, roll out the dough. Cut with cookie cutter, or use a juice glass top to cut. Just press rim of glass into dough and form circles.

Bake at 325 for approximately 5-6 minutes. They shouldn't be too brown on the edges. I check the bottoms to make sure they are golden before taking them out.

PERSONAL NOTES:

When rolling the dough, use a sheet of wax paper for the surface, sprinkle with flour, place the dough and sprinkle that with some flour. Cover with a second piece of wax paper. Use the rolling pin over that. It just makes for easier rolling.

About Me

Over the years people have always asked me for recipes for various dishes and desserts I've made (especially the desserts!). I decided to share with everyone what I think is yummy food.
Some recipes are passed down from family members, some from new and old friends and some I found on my own (Internet, magazines, etc). I will always indicate where I get the recipe from! I like to give credit where it's due, after all.
Additionally, I'll post new recipes that I experiment with along the way.
Let me know what you think. Enjoy - and EAT!
